Customer Reviews

MaryPicture perfect location ! The river Dronne provides the most peaceful backdrop as it flows past the garden with fish jumping and swifts skimming the surface. The garden is beautiful and just sitting on the riverbank became our favourite pastime. The house combines hi-tech modern luxury within a beautiful traditional exterior – a rare combination!

JamesWe absolutely loved staying in this house.
Bonnes is a lovely village, in our opinion even nicer than its more famous neighbour Auberterre. The historic chateaux and the pastel-painted shutters of the ancient houses, smothered in wisteria are the perfect backdrop. We ate in the café/bar a lot and the kids loved the pizzeria. (Try the home-made chocolate Madeleine cakes from the bakery!) The house had all the kitchen and other equipment we could have wished for and we loved the quirky pieces of furniture, though spending time relaxing outside on the terrace with the fabulous view took some beating.
